Subject: MS4 PERMIT COMPLIANCE AUDIT NOTIFICATION
UNC Chapel Hill
NPDES MS4 Permit No. NCS000441
Orange County
Dear Mr. Battle:
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has reviewed the documents submitted in response to the April
29, 2021 pre -audit documentation request. Based upon this review, staff will be performing an on -site National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit
compliance audit for the subject permit The audit is scheduled for June 16, 2021 beginning at 8:30 AM and is
expected to take one (1) full day (see attached agenda). Please arrange for an appropriate meeting space that
will accommodate your representatives, 2 staff members from DEQ, and access to any tools routinely used to
implement the MS4 Program (e.g. databases, GIS, forms, etc.).
You are expected to ensure that all relevant staff, contractors, and management/leadership/officials are present
for scheduled audit meetings. The audit is structured but informal, and the agenda will be flexible depending
upon progress. However, the Preliminary Findings portion of the audit will be held as scheduled so that
management officials can plan to attend.
On -site meeting rooms must provide adequate space for all participants to maintain appropriate social distancing
protocols for COVID-19. If special arrangements or schedule adjustments are necessary to achieve this, please
discuss this with me prior to the audit date. All participants of on -site meetings are expected to wear personal
protective equipment in accordance with current state requirements, guidelines and recommendations; and to
also maintain appropriate social distancing protocols for COVID-19 at all times.
Should you have any questions regarding the upcoming MS4 Permit compliance audit, please feel free to contact
me at Alaina.MormanPlacdenr goy or (919) 707-9236.
Sincerely,
Q rt
